Bull Inn, in the same Street, where he would Pay, for it. It was aceordinthr cent by Mr.. Thundell's porter,. who took with biro change .amounting to the difference - between the pill - and 71. The pri 7 soner took the goods and change, and gave the porter two Banker's notes, doe 'for 51. and the other for 21. the porter brought to his master, but which, on examination, proVed to be country notes, purporting to be issued by 'aOrnqt Bank in Hamp shire, made payable by Jogget and Co. City Chatn bers,'and marked with the signatures of Cooper and „ Hard - wicke. Upqn inquiry, ,hoti ever,. at the City Ciiarnbors,' Mr. Blundell was informed. these notes , . wise fiaitious, and that there was no such Bank as that froin.which they purported to issue. ,The next accuser was a Mr. Bumstead,,a hosier in the city', who stated that the prisoner came to his house, and gave. an order for hosiery to the amount of 61. which he desired to be sent to Broad 7 street Chambers, with a bill to be there paid. They were sent. in Consequence to the prisoner's chambers there and,paid . for. In a few days sobsequentiV, the pri soner again called and gave an order for shirts, hand kerchiefs, hosiery and other goods, to the amount'of 351, I Bs, and ordered also that they should be aent l . as before to Broad-street chambers. On their being: sent there, he said his clerk had just gone out, and.' inadvertently taken with him the key of the desk,' so that 'he could not get at his banker's check-book, but requested the messenger to leaVe the 'goods, and call at any other time. This was done; but the prisoner was never more to be foUnd there, nor any clue to find,hitrt elsewhere. Varkaus Other persons brought different charges aginat him for goods, out of which he had.swindled them, with the assistance , of a young man named Hardwicke, who a&ed as his clerk at Broad-street Chambers. Amongst the number was Mr. Samuel Nock, gunsmith, of Fleet-street, from whoM Hard wicke had obtained a . gon and a pair of pistols, amounting to 40L upon a fiaitious bill of exchange also Mr. Mortimer, another gun-smith of Ludgate hill, from whom he got a double-bartelled fowling piece, and sorneother artiole.s by a similar stratagem. Mr.Ch-rdwick, a silveramii h, of Cbrnhill, charged the prisoner with having obtained from him, in a like- fraudulent way, a number of silver forks and spoons. Mr. Deynas, of Wel worth, complained also of being swin,:led by the prisoner out of a cut-glass chandelier and decanters., of considerable value ; and a Mr. Lathy, of New ate-street, stated ihat the prisoner had, in like manner, obtained from him linen to the amount of 231. Several other people were in attendance, to prove other frauds against the prisoner, hut there was not time for their exam;nation. It appeared that the prisoner, in company,with FlardwiCke, bad occupied those rooms in Broad street. ... Chambers; for the very purpose ,•of . recetcang goods. They employed a clerk of reputable Ap .pearance to receive the goods; and give plausible an- e swers to all : inquiries. They 'bad enot her house at Wel worth; and e, eonoti ng- house inWestininster,each of Which answered t he dooble purpose; of a teceptade for 'spoil, and a Iziai:e of reference from the other two. .Many persons were by these meats grossly cheated ; for when. the gomis..were once., secured in the tray, the purchaser .was-oeear eavrin to. be seen. Hard wiel,e starlet', Mes assumed t he name of ,Cooper, and Cooper occasionally ten that of Jackson. A man whom th,ey occasionally etdPloyed as gardener, at their house in Walworth, and to whom they ne ver paid any wages, stated, that Ilea) , decamped wish the whole furniture 'of the house in one night ; that the Cart which carried it was unloaded in the middle of a field, . and after a, little time the goods were placed in another cart, and removed to some place known only to the prisoner and his accomplice. The extent to w hich these men contrived to carry on this systeM, is scarcely calculable. It is suppos ed that above an hundred persous were the dupes of their artifices, under various pretertces. - He was committed for further examination on a future day.

The deceased, however, proceeded* on wards direaly ; he reached the gallery, Precipitated himselinVer the railing, and falling on his head, ex pired 'without' a groan.

I SATS 111 KAMPTSCII.ATA.—There is a species of 'Rats in karriptschri' tka; which nearly resemble those this country, but these live in the woods, fields, and high mountains, in a kind of community, hav ing very neat nests, which are large, and divided into'different apartments spread wrtit grass, in some of whigh they Store uproots of_ several kinds, which fliey gather with great labour in summer, and lay up against winter, dragging them out in Sunshiny' weather in order to dry them. All the summer they lives upon berries, and such other food as they can find, never touching their winter provisions, while any is to be procured in the fields.' These Rats change their habitation, and sometimes they leave the country, which.t he inhabitants of Kampts chatka imagine forbodes a rainy season and a bad y. ar for hunting, but when they return they expect a tine one, and a good year for the chace, and there fore expresses are sent to all parts with the agreeable hews: . When they depart, - it is always .in the Spring, first,' assembling in great numbers, and Steer their curse dife,West, crossing rivers, lakes, and even arms of the Sea,' and when they reach the shores, spent with fatigue, they lie as if dead upon the banks, till recayering their strength, they again pursue their march. They have nothing to tear on the land, their greyest danger is lest sons raven bus fish should devour them, for the I(amptscha dales, on finding them weak on the banks, give them every assistance in their power. Their troop is someti*s soil - Mimi - oils, that travAers an ob'iged to ‘wat- two hours for their passing by.
